What does it mean to know something? What does it mean to prove something? And how are the two connected? Cara-Julie Kather explores MathematicsĀ as a way of thinking and being in the world. She investigates MathematicsĀ in its conceptual relation to Western understandings of the Rational and the Human , and proposes possibilities of subverting Western MathematicsĀ and of forming different mathematical practices. To engage in decolonial-feminist re-writings of the Rational and the Human requires to re-write mathematical practice too. This study seeks to inspire such practices of re-writing thinking and being ā in the realm of the mathematical and beyond.
